Be Advised
Before You Buy
If a competent expert could pass on each purchase
you make, you would be sure of getting full value
for every dollar you spend. . But experts afe rare,
and even then are seldom trained to know moj*e than
one type of merchandise. What an imposing
retinue of these specialists you would need (to pass
judgment on your routine purchases of gasoline and
gloves, hammocks and hosiery, lines and linoleum!
But you can get competent and honest counsel
on almost everything you buy without eve|* meet-
ing an expert. How? By being ad-vised in advance
by the advertising pages of this newspaper.
Here you will find all kinds of reputable mer-
chants and manufacturers telling you about their
best bargains, and inviting comparisons. In a mat-
ter of minutes, ypu will find more bona fide bar-
gains in print than you would discover on the coun-
ters of all the stores you could visit in a j six-day
shopping trek.
Read these advertising pages regularly for just
one week, and then you'll know first-hand that it
pays to be ad-vised before you buy. Your money
will s-t-r-e-t-c-h further, and your purchases be
more satisfactory.
